William Langland (/ˈlæŋlənd/; c. 1332 - c. 1386) is the presumed author of Middle English alliterative poetry, generally known as Piers Plowman, an allegorical work with a complex variety of religious themes. Piers Plowman translated the language and concepts of the cloister into symbols and images that could be understood by the layman. In general, the language of the poem is simple and colloquial, but some of the author's imagery is powerful and direct. Additionally, the literary device known as dream-vision is used in Langland's work, Piers Plowman.
